43、 A plan is attached to the report as a guide to layout(Appendix 1), together with a color scheme(Appendix 2), and a detailed estimate of costs(Appendix 3). 1. NEW OFFICE EQUIPMENT a) Desks. The existing desks are in good condition and can be retained. New desks will be needed for the shorthand(速记 )

44、typist who will join us shortly and for the two new sales representatives. As the desks in present use are of teak(柚木 ), it would maintain uniformity(一致 ) if similar desks were ordered. b) Cabinets and cupboards. The office filing cabinets and cupboards are in very poor condition. It would therefore

45、 be preferable to order six new cupboards in a bright color.
